On the programme for your stay
2 days / 2 nightsIn the heart of the mountains, a breath of fresh air where laughter and friendship mingle.
Arrival day
You arrive and settle into your hotel, where you’ll spend a peaceful night. Don’t forget to gaze up at the starry sky– the nights in the Pyrenees are sparkling.
Day 1
Choice of activity: mountain scooter or downhill mountain bike
Off-road scooters: Take to the trails, through forests or down grassy slopes, on sporting or more fun routes. Your instructor will suggest a circuit to suit your tastes. More stable and manoeuvrable than a mountain bike, the all-terrain scooter is accessible to everyone. Duration of the activity: approximately 1h30.
Downhill mountain biking: The experience begins with a chairlift ride to the summit of Peyragudes, with its exceptional panoramic views. You then descend at your own pace along wide, easy trails. Your instructor will guide you all the way down to teach you different techniques and to show you the exceptional viewpoints and typical villages of the valley. Duration of activity: approx. 2 hours. Easy level.

The centre offers 6 areas: Roman with a 33° lagoon (jacuzzis, hammam, whirlpool baths, etc.), Tibetan with personalised treatments, Japanese with saunas and Inca, with outdoor baths. The Amerindian and Mayan areas are accessible to families.
